Post by: mgscott on Friday 03 January 20 02:58 GMT (UK)

Can someone please decipher what his occupation was?

?? Labourer I think - but can't work out the first word, which seems to almost run into the 'L' of Labourer.  the last three letters might be 'ral'

Can you find him anywhere else which might have clearer writing - in a census maybe?  I gather this is a certificate or some kind??   Not enough other writng to compare it.

Thanks Wiggy and Tony. It's most likely General Labourer which certainly seems to fit other records. Much appreciated.
